What the Health
What the Health?!? (Health for All: The Evolution of Wellbeing and the Global Healthcare Divide.”)
Introduction:
Time Period: Present Day. Set the stage by juxtaposing the advancements in global health and wellness with the ongoing dysfunction of the U.S. healthcare system. This introduction will highlight the paradox: while many countries have found ways to provide healthcare for all, the U.S. struggles with accessibility, affordability, and quality.
“Throughout history, humans have always sought ways to improve their health, extend their lifespans, and alleviate suffering. But despite incredible advancements in medical knowledge, many countries today face stark differences in how healthcare is accessed, distributed, and paid for. As nations grapple with the future of their healthcare systems, the United States remains an outlier, facing critical issues that threaten its healthcare system’s efficacy. Can the U.S. learn from the experiences of other nations to solve its healthcare crisis?”
Early Health and Medicine: The Beginnings of Human Health
Time Period: Ancient Civilizations (5000 BCE – 500 CE)
- Key Event: First documented uses of medicine and public health systems.
- Technology: Herbal remedies, early surgical techniques, public sanitation
- Narrative: The roots of healthcare lie in ancient civilizations, where medicine was often intertwined with spirituality and religion. Egyptians, Mesopotamians, and Greeks used herbal remedies and rudimentary surgical practices to heal wounds and treat illnesses. Public health in these early societies was focused on sanitation (e.g., the Egyptian Nile-based water systems, Roman aqueducts) to prevent disease outbreaks.
- Interview: Historian explains the early connections between public infrastructure and the development of health systems.
The Middle Ages and the Plague: The Shift Toward Organized Healthcare
Time Period: 5th Century – 15th Century
- Key Event: The Black Death and its aftermath, emergence of the first hospitals in Europe.
- Technology: Quarantines, the first hospitals, herbal medicines, basic surgical procedures.

- Quarantines were implemented, laying the groundwork for modern public health practices.
- Interview: Medical Historian discusses how the Black Death shaped early ideas of healthcare and social responsibility for health.
The Renaissance and the Birth of Modern Medicine
Time Period: 16th – 18th Century
- Key Event: Advances in medical knowledge and the founding of public health policies.
- Technology: Scientific methods, early vaccinations, and the printing press.
- Narrative: The Renaissance sparked a revival in scientific inquiry, leading to major advancements in understanding human anatomy and disease. The smallpox vaccine, pioneered by Edward Jenner, was the first step toward immunization. Public health policies, such as quarantine laws and early forms of vaccination, were implemented to combat diseases.
- Interview: Scientist/Doctor explains how Renaissance thinkers laid the groundwork for modern medicine.
The Industrial Revolution: Expanding Healthcare with New Challenges
Time Period: 19th Century
- Key Event: Urbanization, industrialization, and the rise of public health infrastructure.
- Technology: Germ theory, antibiotics, sanitation improvements
- Narrative: The Industrial Revolution brought both progress and new public health challenges. Cities grew rapidly, creating crowded conditions that led to disease outbreaks like cholera and tuberculosis. Medical breakthroughs, such as Louis Pasteur’s germ theory, revolutionized understanding of disease transmission. In response, governments began to establish public health systems focused on sanitation, vaccination, and disease prevention.
- Interview: Public Health Expert discusses how industrialization changed the landscape of healthcare and prompted public health policy in Europe and North America.
The Birth of the Modern Healthcare System

– Technology: Antibiotics, vaccines, medical insurance. - Narrative: In Europe, the concept of public healthcare begins to take root with the establishment of universal health systems, starting with Germany in 1883 under Chancellor Otto von Bismarck. Meanwhile, the U.S. healthcare system begins to take shape, driven by private insurance companies and the rise of modern hospitals. Despite these advances, access to healthcare remains a privilege for the wealthy, particularly in the U.S., where private insurance dominates.
- Interview: Health Economist discusses the emergence of the modern healthcare system and the contrasting models between Europe and the U.S.
The Mid-20th Century: The Global Expansion of Healthcare
